Radiator support bracket

Abstract

A radiator support bracket includes a bracket body and a stopper member. The bracket body is uniformly made of resin and has a plate-like base portion to be fixed to the vehicle frame, a transformable arm portion that extends from the base portion, and a support portion that holds the upper side of the radiator. The stopper member can also be made of resin uniformly with the bracket body.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A radiator support bracket holding an upper side of a radiator comprising: a bracket body uniformly made of resin, said bracket body including a base portion adapted to be fixed to a vehicle body, a transformable arm portion extending from said base portion, and a support portion provided at an edge of an end of said arm portion and holding the upper side of the radiator, and   a stopper member for restricting transformation of said base portion,   wherein said transformable arm portion has a wave-shape.   
     
     
       2. A radiator support bracket holding an upper side of a radiator comprising: a bracket body uniformly made of resin, said bracket body including a base portion adapted to be fixed to a vehicle body, a transformable arm portion extending from said base portion, and a support portion provided at an edge of an end of said arm portion and holding the upper side of the radiator, and   a stopper member for restricting transformation of said base portion,   wherein said bracket body and said stopper member are integrally formed from a resin, and a metal collar is provided around walls of said base portion defining a hole, and   wherein said stopper member has a reinforcing rib thereon.   
     
     
       3. A radiator support bracket holding an upper side of a radiator comprising: a bracket body uniformly made of resin, said bracket body including a base portion adapted to be fixed to a vehicle body, a transformable arm portion extending from said base portion, and a support portion provided at an edge of an end of said arm portion and holding the upper side of the radiator, and   a stopper member for restricting transformation of said base portion,   wherein said base portion has a circular shape.   
     
     
       4. A radiator support bracket holding an upper side of a radiator comprising: a bracket body uniformly made of resin, said bracket body including a base portion adapted to be fixed to a vehicle body, a transformable arm portion extending from said base portion, and a support portion provided at an edge of an end of said arm portion and holding the upper side of the radiator, and   a stopper member for restricting transformation of said base portion,   wherein said base portion has a circular shape and includes deformable protrusions on an under surface thereof.   
     
     
       5. A radiator support bracket according to claim 4, wherein said base portion is formed in a curved shape. 
     
     
       6. A radiator support bracket holding an upper side of a radiator comprising: a bracket body uniformly made of resin, said bracket body including a base portion adapted to be fixed to a vehicle body, a transformable arm portion extending from said base portion, and a support portion provided at an edge of an end of said arm portion and holding the upper side of the radiator, and   a stopper member for restricting transformation of said base portion,   wherein said arm portion is substantially U-shaped, and a curved portion thereof defines a spring portion.   
     
     
       7. A radiator support bracket according to claim 6, wherein said arm portion includes a plate-like shape as a shock absorbing member at an end thereof. 
     
     
       8. A radiator support bracket according to claim 6, wherein said arm includes support portions that include claws on both ends of said side portions of said support portions. 
     
     
       9. A radiator support bracket according to claim 6, wherein said arm portion includes a brush that acts as a shock absorbing member. 
     
     
       10. A radiator support bracket for holding an upper side of a radiator comprising: a bracket body uniformly made of resin, said bracket body including a base portion constructed and arranged to be fixed to a vehicle body, a transformable arm portion extending from said base portion, and a support portion provided at an edge of an end of said arm portion constructed and arranged to be attached to the upper side of the radiator, and   a stopper member for restricting transformation of said base portion,   wherein said transformable arm portion has a wave-shape.   
     
     
       11. A radiator support bracket for holding an upper side of a radiator comprising: a bracket body uniformly made of resin, said bracket body including a base portion constructed and arranged to be fixed to a vehicle body, a transformable arm portion extending from said base portion, and a support portion provided at an edge of an end of said arm portion constructed and arranged to be attached to the upper side of the radiator, and   a stopper member for restricting transformation of said base portion,   wherein said bracket body and said stopper member are integrally formed from a resin, and a metal collar is provided around walls of said base portion defining a hole, and wherein said stopper member has a reinforcing rib thereon.   
     
     
       12. A radiator support bracket for holding an upper side of a radiator comprising: a bracket body uniformly made of resin, said bracket body including a base portion constructed and arranged to be fixed to a vehicle body, a transformable arm portion extending from said base portion, and a support portion provided at an edge of an end of said arm portion constructed and arranged to be attached to the upper side of the radiator, and   a stopper member for restricting transformation of said base portion,   wherein said base portion has a circular shape.   
     
     
       13. A radiator support bracket for holding an upper side of a radiator comprising: a bracket body uniformly made of resin, said bracket body including a base portion constructed and arranged to be fixed to a vehicle body, a transformable arm portion extending from said base portion, and a support portion provided at an edge of an end of said arm portion constructed and arranged to be attached to the upper side of the radiator, and   a stopper member for restricting transformation of said base portion,   wherein said base portion has a circular shape and includes deformable protrusions on an under surface thereof.   
     
     
       14. A radiator support bracket for holding an upper side of a radiator comprising: a bracket body uniformly made of resin, said bracket body including a base portion constructed and arranged to be fixed to a vehicle body, a transformable arm portion extending from said base portion, and a support portion provided at an edge of an end of said arm portion constructed and arranged to be attached to the upper side of the radiator, and   a stopper member for restricting transformation of said base portion,   wherein said arm portion is substantially U-shaped, and a curved portion thereof defines a spring portion.
